Andrea has changed my life! The aches, pains and injuries that I've dealt with for many years, as a result of my athletic lifestyle, are no longer issues. In fact, she worked with me through a major foot injury, allowing me to be strong and ready when I received the green light to walk again. In a city where there is no shortage of Pilates teachers, I strongly believe Andrea's techniques, knowledge and understanding make her one of the best, if not the best.

I started working with Andrea having no prior experience with Pilates. Andrea is patient, enthusiastic and gives instructions that are easy to follow. She also has a great sense of humor, so our sessions together fly by. I look forward to continuing to work with Andrea and getting stronger and stronger.

Andrea is amazing! She is patient, kind and explains things so I understand the purpose behind the movement. She understands the body and how it works. She will meet you where you are, but will also encourage you forward without the feeling of being pushed and in absolute kindness. As a medical professional for 18 years I highly recommend her knowledge of the body, mixed with her patience, compassion and overall skill. You will be on your way to a better you!

I feel so fortunate to have found Andrea! I've been dealing with chronic pain in my neck and shoulders for close to 20 years. I've tried Pilates before, but was unable to make progress because it would trigger my pain. Andrea is so thoughtful and patient in her work that I have been able to gradually build strength. I'm currently doing exercises that I never thought possible and I'm experiencing a reduction in my overall symptoms for the first time in many years.

Andrea is fantastic! She has deep knowledge of Pilates and bio-mechanics, and tailors her program to your own specific needs and goals. I appreciate her help improving my posture, strengthening my core, helping me rehab through a meniscus surgery, improving my balance, and overall feeling healthier as a result of her coaching.

Andrea is simply the best. I see her one-on-one about three times a week. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things Pilates, plus she truly cares about her clients. She always takes her time to explain each pose before we do it, to make sure I understand what we're working on and why. I know I'll never hurt myself in our sessions because she pays so much attention during each exercise. But I also feel very challenged, and I know I'm getting an incredible workout. I've gotten so much stronger in the last few months of working with her and I'm forever grateful! She also has the best attitude and somehow makes exercising very fun!

Andrea is amazing! My Pilates sessions have become so much more than just that. She has a deep understanding of the body functions and mechanism. She is naturally intuitive about what your body needs and what muscle to engage. She is very knowledgeable about the original Pilates method, she is attentive about each movement making sure you have the best form. Detailed oriented work, kind spirit and knowledgeable teacher, she embodies the best attributes anyone can dream in a Pilates instructor and I am lucky to have met her.

Andrea is intuitive, kind, and thoughtful, and she creates a space where deep self-acceptance and healing can occur. She approaches the practice with curiosity and compassion, and she encourages her students to do the same; I felt safe and supported in her presence, as I was given permission to unwind. Thank you, Andrea, for offering all that you do—it's a gift!

Andrea's class is kind and caring. Her soothing voice and compassion allowed me to settle into my body and move free as she guided us through a beautiful practice.

I love working out with Andrea! Working with her has been extremely rewarding. She pays great attention to my body and to my strengths and weaknesses. She is hands on and pushes me to go further with my practice. In just a few months I am already feeling stronger and look more toned. Andrea is so sweet and has a delightful teaching style. Something that I especially appreciate is that she's always switching it up. She listens to what I need and tailors our workouts accordingly. It's something I look forward to every week!

I am very happy with the Pilates training I am receiving from Andrea. I like her attention to detail (there's no correction too small to ensure I'm using the proper form) and her knowledge of the body and of Pilates techniques means that she can suggest corrections and try different approaches to help me improve my practice. Andrea's calm demeanor and constant encouragement make our sessions a pleasure. I really enjoy working with her!

As director of the Yoga and the Healing Sciences Teacher Training Program at LMU, I had the joy of supporting Andrea in becoming a trained yoga teacher. She is intuitive, acutely aware, specific, generous to her students, and has in-depth knowledge of the body from her many years of education in anatomy, movement, and body-centered practices. I highly recommend Andrea as a yoga facilitator for people needing special care, interested in precision, and in sharing a well-rounded and thoughtful yoga practice.
